The world of NFTs is overpopulated. Billions of NFTs with little resale value.

A lot of artists are not valued and their works are less appreciated.
I create and sell more of my works as NFTs than commissions.
As a Nigerian artists , you need not to rely on art as your soul source of income especially the yet to be established artists.

You're absolutely right. Generate most of my income from model making, I exhibit occasionally too though.

you still need a lot of money to mint nft on ethereum network. They should face the reality, being an artist is not a sustainable career especially in this part of the world.

Lol. It is sustainable, every hustle requires a strategy. All my works are non figurative, yet I make sales. I make utility art as well. Also, minting is free on Polygon.
